3. Collaboration
Resulted in overwhelming success of the Sales Tax Initiatives for Transportation and Transit
77% Transportation Infrastructure Projects
69% Transit Service Improvements

4. Funding Stream Time Line
Enacting date of the [Sales Tax] ordinances is January 1, 2017
State Tax Commission will BEGIN their process
90 days to codify and notify businesses of the new sales and use tax rates
After the 90 day period, businesses will be required to collect and remit the new taxes
Filing requirements of the individual businesses (monthly, quarterly, annual) will determine when those revenues are remitted and received by the County
We are not anticipating any sales tax revenues until June
